Pearl Harbor is a National Historic Landmark on the island of Oahu. The port and headquarters of the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy are known for the attack by Japanese forces on the US Pacific Fleet during World War II. This caused the USA to enter the war. At Pearl Harbor you can visit five historical sites that tell of the tragic events. You should set aside at least half a day for the WWII Valor in the Pacific Monument (USS Arizona Memorial), the Battleship Missouri Memorial, the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, the USS Oklahoma Memorial and the Pacific Aviation Museum. https://www.tourlane.de/nord Amerika/usa/gehenswuerdigkeiten-hawaii/#waikiki-strand

The legendary Waikiki Beach stretches three and a half kilometers along the coast of Honolulu in the Waikiki district. The white beach is lined with palm trees and is the ideal place to sunbathe, swim and relax during your Honolulu vacation. Waikiki Beach is also considered a surfing hotspot with a lively nightlife. The beach became increasingly important in the mid-19th century. At that time, the Hawaiian royal family chose the Waikiki coast as their favorite beach residence. The kilometer-long stretch of beach is divided into eight other beaches such as Duke Kahanamoku Beach, Fort DeRussy Beach Park and San Souci Beach. https://www.tourlane.de/nord Amerika/usa/gehenswuerdigkeiten-hawaii/#waikiki-strand
